Ivo Vegter is a South African columnist who usually writes for ITWeb and The Daily Maverick. His background is in technology and telecommunications, but he has been caught writing about all sorts of unrelated subjects, from free-market economics to beef, from tanzanite stones to why climate change is not a crisis, from African royalty to forest fires. An honourary member of the Mitchell’s Brewery in Knysna, he is a grave threat to old-growth forests, cyclists, endangered seahorses and himself.
The trip to Austin, Texas to attend SxSW was a direct result of being a GeekRetreat fellow. One magical weekend in Stanford it all came together, thanks to Jack Kruger and Old Mutual.
